of the prairie. You can.
The 11th International Citizens Marathon is held in Ulaanbaatar, the center
of the Mongolian Plateau. Even though it is May, it starts by breathing
in the fresh air in the morning around 15km, and runs through the prairie
under the Mongolian blue sky. Western runners such as Germany, France,
Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia and Asian runners
such as Japan, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand run side by side.
The start
and finish points are in the center of Ulaanbaatar, and we will use the Genghis
Khan Square, which is located in front of the Genghis Khan Memorial Palace,
which was built to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the founding of Greater
Mongolia. From the square, head east on the national highway. Heading for about
7q, you will pass through the city and run 21q through the green prairie to the
turning point. Goats, sheep and horses are grazing on the grassland along the
course. You can see the famous Mongol River and the Siberian railway that
connects Beijing to Moscow. Experience riding in the prairie of Undurdobu and
visit the nomadic Ger. Ulaanbaatar city is 1300m above sea level and the
turning point is 1410m above sea level. The outbound route is a gentle climb,
and the return route is a down course.
